Support

There are various ways you can support the work of our trust. Whether you are an individual, a group, club or business there are many ways you can help us. The trust rely on grants and charity work to help finance our work but it is not all about money. The ways you can support go beyond raising and donating money.

Volunteering:

We would like to arrange some events to promote our work and our village in addition to raising money for trust projects. Arranging these events takes time, determination, planning and arranging as well as people to man stations on the day. If you have time to spare and wish to get involved with our work you will be made very welcome. You can sit on committees or lend a hand on the day.

The trust relies on the goodwill of the Sandbank Community and local traders. The work we do is for the benefit of the whole community, the more help we have, the bigger and better our events.

If you have time, skills, knowledge to share or the desire to help your local community please get in touch.

Charity Work.

The Trust board do a lot of work to raise money to cover administration costs. To help support us you can come along to events and bring your family and friends. It would be helpful if you could spread the word about our events and help us make them even more successful.

How it works

We provide a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for any charity, good cause or group you choose to support. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from our site first, each purchase you make will generate a cashback donation to the cause you wish to support.

For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and raise £35.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so on.

You can shop with 2000+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from our site first – it’s that simple!

If you ALREADY shop online, why not help good causes at no extra cost from purchases you would make anyway.

Why do retailers support your fundraising?
It seems very generous, but when you buy online the cost to the retailer is much lower. As there’s no shop, salesperson, heating, electricity, rates, not even the cost of the bag to put your goods in, retailers are more than happy to help good causes when new online customers are introduced to them via our website. Please note that your chosen good cause receives 100% of the donation. E.g. the donation rate for M&S is 5% of all spend, so your chosen good cause will receive 5p for every £1 spent.

Will I pay anything extra?
No. You pay the same prices exactly as if you visited each retailer’s website directly. Using our service will not cost you a penny more than you would pay normally.

How much can I raise?
Up to 15% of every purchase is donated, depending on which retailer you select and what you buy. The exact donation that will be paid is displayed directly next to each retailer listing. With some categories such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information about the retailer, please click the image
